CREWMATE
He paired up with his crewmate Dylan Fletcher in the 49er class in the late part of 2016, and in their first season the pair won gold at the 2017 Class World Championships in Porto, Portugal. "Dylan's probably one of the fiercest helmsmen I've sailed with, in a good way. He brings a lot of aggression to the boat, he's very good to race with and it's very nice to have him on your side."
